2.   Carbon-14 is used to determine the age of dead organic matter. The process is known as carbon dating. The carbon in plants which is up to during photosynthesis contains small portions of radioactive carbon-14,the plant dies; the carbon-14 in the dead plant continues decaying hence    the amount decreases. Carbon-14 has a half-life of about 5,600 years. During carbon dating a log of an old tree was found to have  only 3.125% remaining 28,000 years after it was cut down.

(a)   Fill the table to show how the percentage (%) mass of carbon-14 decreased over time 3marks

Percentage (%) remain in mass100  12.5 3.125
Time in years 11200  28,000

(b) Using the filled table above, draw the graph of the % mass against time    in years (3 marks)

(c) From the graph,

i.    Determine the percentage mass that would remain after 15,000 years. (1 mark)

ii.   Determine how long it would take for percentage mass to decrease        to 35%. (1mark)

(d)  State 2 other applications of radioactivity other than carbon dating.
